    In this lesson LLB discusses the overstuffed style of Victoriana, where the style originated and how it quietly fizzled out of fashion.

    How have I only just discovered his channel!?!?
    I've been pining for this kind of "history /interior design" type videos.
    Loving it!

    I'm 37, so I was a teenager when changing rooms was on. You were always my favorite designer. Just hearing you speak feels like I'm home. I live in the USA, but I'm lucky to live in a neighborhood that has a lot of victorian references in the houses. I'm so happy you popped up when I was bored enough to look up victorian architecture! :) You definitely breathe life into a stuffy subject ! I look forward to catching up with your other videos and learning with style!

    Mr. Llewelyn-Bowen. I don't have money for interior design school, but I'm learning so much from your videos, and taking notes. Thank you for sharing your incredible depth of knowledge in this way... egalitarianism at its best and sincerely appreciated.

    New sub. This is informative and delightful! I dare say, I need to watch this again when I’m fully awake (been up since 3am).

    It's always amazing how much stuff and detail they made back then. Now we have cheap plastics and can hardly afford a house lol

    I remember him from Changing Rooms! He looks amazing! Still as stylish and unapologetically British as ever.

    Very clever. I am a long admirer of Victorian styles but still find your video both informative and witty. You do judge the era by its worst extremes -- and the same could be done with the same wit for the 20th and 21st c. styles.

    I swear during this entire video I kept thinking "Tim Curry!" in sound and sight, despite knowing he's not in either. LOL

    I believe the model used for the illustrations at 15:00 is Evelyn Nesbitt, who captivated two men, one quite a bit older, married, and wealthy, and one, wealthy, dangerous, and completely off his rocker. Check out The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing for more of this sordid tale of debauchery and murder.

      Maybe you won't Kate, but I will. I just finished replicating draperies for an 1885 house and the look is spectacular.

    As I was scrolling images of Victorian Architecture I came upon something horrible, "Victorian Modern". It felt like a fever dream. It sent me into a indescribable rage, how could someone in the right mind so gladly destroy an absolutely work of art and incredible display of craftsmanship. Or how some of these "restorers" get marvelous surviving victorian mansions, and paint all of the perfectly preserved woodwork white. Goddam it that pisses me off so bad. Anyways, great video on the subject. I learned a great deal.

    What-ho! "...females dressed like the furniture of the day!" That was a priceless statement and will be weaponized by the fashion police in my large boisterous family. Your videos are wonderfully instructional and lashed with wry humor.

      Yes, sad to think most of it went to the rubbish heap. Or destroyed.

      No. When comparing an adjective with one syllable you add an er and that's all.
